Abstract
IT may interest “D. W. T.” (NATURE, December 5, p. 104) to know that Geophilus maritimus is found under stones and sea-weeds on the shore at or near Plymouth, and recorded in my “Fauna of Devon,” Section “Myriopoda,” &c., 1874, published in the Transactions of the Devonshire Association for the Advancement of Literature, Science, and Art, 1874. This species was not known to Mr. Newport when his monograph was written (Linn. Trans., vol. xix., 1845). Dr. Leach has given a very good figure of this species in the Zoological Miscellany, vol. iii. pl. 140, Figs. 1 and 2, and says: “Habitat in Britannia inter scopulos ad littora maris vulgatissime.” But, so far as my observations go, I should say it is a rare species. See Zoologist, 1866, p. 7, for further observations on this animal.
